The Best Waterproof Golf Bags Of 2022
Playing golf in the driving
rain is hard enough, but it’s nigh-on impossible when your grips are drenched, and
your glove is wet through.
A reliable waterproof golf
bag is worth its weight in gold because if you can keep your clubs dry, you’ll
be able to focus on what really matters—hitting good golf shots.
Manufacturers know that UK golfers are faced with unpredictable weather all year round, and if you’re in the market for a golf bag—stand or carry—you need it to be waterproof.
Of course, you also want a
bag that ticks all the boxes like comfort, style, and usability, but the
waterproof aspect is more often than not the dealbreaker.
There are models out there to
suit all tastes and preferences, and you’re sure to find one that you like in
our list.
Here’s our selection of the best waterproof golf bags of 2022.
Best waterproof golf bags: stand bags

Callaway and golf go hand in hand, and the Chev Dry Stand Bag certainly backs that argument up. This bag provides year-round protection with its fully seam-sealed waterproof design and clever organisation.
The four-way divider top system ensures order is restored,
while its integrated lift handle makes the lifting and transportation of this
lightweight and stylish bag much easier.

At less than four pounds in weight, you’ll be surprised at just how much this waterproof golf bag packs in. If you know your Titleist golf bags, you’ll know that the Players range is renowned for its rich designs tailored especially for the dedicated golfer.
This one is
no different (the clue’s in the name, right?)
The Players 4 StaDray Stand Bag boasts a premium waterproof construction and plentiful storage, including a full-length apparel pocket.
You needn’t be fooled by its light weight, as no storage or durability has been sacrificed at all. There’s even extra space for your water bottle, too.

RRP: £159
Key
features
Glove and towel holderLeg lock systemSeven-way top
With more space than perhaps some of the more traditional golf bags, the Dri Lite Eight by BIG MAX is the perfect choice for the casual golfer needing a few extra storage inches.
Available
in four stylish colourways (black, navy, red and silver), this model combines
the practicality of five water-resistant pockets, lightweight materials and a
generous seven-way top designed to allow your golf clubs breathing space.
The bag’s integrated cooler pocket also means you can keep your refreshments cool, while towel hooks, a glove holder and umbrella mount make useful additions for all seasons, too.

features
Four-way club managementSelf-balancing X-Act fit strap systemExtra rain protection coating
Visually similar to the Chev Dry, the HyperDry C Waterproof Golf Bag looks and feels like what you might expect from a Callaway.
One of the
lightest and most waterproof golf bags on the market, the four-way top with
full-length dividers allow you to separate your clubs as you please. Though
storage space is perhaps not as plentiful as other bags, this is a solid choice
for a quick round with your drivers kept at arm’s length.
The HyperDry C is slightly shorter than most other stand golf bags, with the focus here being very much on travelling light. Nevertheless, its zips are welded, and every seam is internally sealed to ensure 100% waterproof protection.
MotoCaddy HydroFLEX Stand Bag
RRP: £219.99
Key
features
Moulded hip padEasy-open Japanese YKK zipsFour-point adjustable dual carry strap
Though marketed primarily as a stand bag, the versatile, hybrid design of the HydroFLEX means it can also double up as a cart bag when fitted onto any MotoCaddy trolley.
Let’s say
you’re a golfer that likes to flit between carrying your clubs and using a
trolley—well, this jack-of-all-trades bag is the one for you.
The
HydroFLEX is made from super-lightweight waterproof fabric and is studded with
thermo sealed easy-open zips to provide maximum protection from the elements.
As you’ll know, too, some golf courses ban the use of trolleys during the winter, making this bag the perfect go-between.

an extra-wide opening for your putter. You needn’t worry about ‘club clutter’
either, as three full-length dividers have been designed especially to prevent
just that.
The Deluxe
Waterproof Cart Bag has seven functional pockets in total to accommodate all
your equipment and gadgets, including balls, tees and apparel.
What’s more, weighing in at just over 2kg, you’ll barely break a sweat transporting it all either.

The Forgan

from the front while the bag is placed on an accompanying cart.
This
waterproof golf bag doesn’t just keep your clubs safe, either. Its lined
valuables pocket will keep your phone, watch, and other similar items
scuff-free.
While we’re on the subject of pockets, the bag’s cooler pocket is also big enough to fit four 500ml bottles—so you needn’t worry about running out of fluids on particularly warm days on the course.

lined space for valuables, an insulated cooler pocket, and an additional
waterproof rain hood.
Its padded
14-way divider top also prevents your club grips from interfering with each
other in transit, keeping them exactly where you expect them to be when you
need them.
With an oversized external putter well, too, this bag is more than capable of accommodating those ‘fat’ putting grips.

three moulded grab handles on top of the bag for lifting.
The 14-way
divider and nine fully waterproof pockets have all been finished with
heavy-duty waterproof zippers to ensure that absolutely no water seeps through
on course and your clubs stay dry.

assist you round the course, plus a dedicated battery pocket.
A single-padded shoulder strap also makes it comfortable to
